 - Updated the Reports UI to use embedded column metadata as a fallback, ensuring column selection is available even when an API fetch fails.
 - Improved column metadata loading logic to only fetch metadata when it is not already present in the report payload.

+- Fixed /api/reports/columns to always return the column metadata payload (removed incorrect indentation that prevented a response for authorized users).
+- Ensured the “New report” page always initializes the column selector by providing the initial customers payload to the frontend (prevents JS initialization issues that could stop the column lists from rendering).
